![]() The look and feel of the finished tours is in my opinion superior to the toolbars offered by Autopano pro. I haven't tested it to destruction on every platform, but the HTML5 capability which is what really matters to us is sound and although the deployment to wordpress is a pain, its livable with. Note that the problem here is WordPress - you can't simply copy the bundle into the media directory via ftp - the upload process registers the bundle in the database, hence the awkward workaround.įor a step by step guide to this process check out the video here. ![]() There is a workaround that involves removing the media from the bundle, uploading the directory structure and xml files as a Media type and then using ftp to copy the media back into the bundle. This sounds great until you realise that WordPress out of the box will only allow media uploads of 8mb or less. WordPress support in Pano2VR has a small issue that has not been satisfactorily addressed - there is an option to export a bundle that can be uploaded to WordPress as a Media type and thereafter brought into a post or page via a plugin supplied by Garden Gnome called ggpkg. Alternatively, use the ggpkg plugin for wordpress to create an embedded HTML5 player on a page or in a post. Upload to a directory under public_html and link to it from a post for a full screen panorama. The workflow is similar - import panorama - set start parameters - apply skin (menus etc) - generate HTML5 tour. We have a particular workflow featuring WordPress so I'll be focusing on that for this post. The tooling is intuitively laid out and although it doesn't work in precisely the same way as Panotour, I have found it to be if anything more flexible. That being said, Garden Gnome Software have come up with a very strong contender in Pano2VR. In the end, the reason we chose Kolor was because we thought there would be an advantage in having tooling from the same company across the workflow. And it was a very close call to opt for Kolor at that time.
